Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 220

The next day, Xiuyao went to Zhang Guifang's house. During the winter solstice, they rested at night and were busy during the day. Everyone came to work early this morning, and they worked harder than anyone else.

After all, even if there is strength, there is no other place to sell. Even if there is land to sell, the money will not be given immediately, and the money will be deducted in the end.If you do one job here, you will be paid for one job, whoever does not work hard.

Seeing Xiuyao coming, several people showed mixed emotions. They heard from the third aunt that Xiuyao made a lot of money with the gloves, but they only gave them a little, six dollars for a pair.They are exhausted, Xiuyao doesn't have to do anything, she can still make money by lying at home now, it's really unfair.

Xiuyao glanced at them and greeted them. A few people were not very enthusiastic, but most of them were happy and called Miss Qin one after another.

The second aunt and the third aunt curled their lips coldly, muttering something to the people next to them.

Xiuyao and Zhang Guifang greeted each other, and then went into the house. She looked at the account book, and found that the speed of the third aunt's knitting gloves was not bad, but the second aunt was much slower, and the quality was poor. Some needles were dropped and could not be used. It's awkward, she suspects that it was made by Xiumei and the others.

When distributing the money, Xiuyao reconciled the account books one by one, and when it was the second aunt's turn, she withheld the payment, and the third aunt sent it to her as usual.After the money was distributed, she asked everyone to weave gloves as usual, and she took care of the money box.

The second aunt said angrily, "Xiuyao, where is my money?"

Xiuyao glanced at her and said: "I know, I haven't come during this time, you have a lot of ideas. I also want to make it clear today that you come to do this job to make money for yourself, not for me, you don't Do it, I still have someone to do it. Similarly, if I don’t have to do it, can you not do it?”

Immediately, someone said: "Miss Qin, you have to do this business. We rely on you and the family has made a lot of money." For them, more than 100 Wen a month or two hundred Wen is a lot of money.

Xiuyao raised her hand to signal them to be calm, and she said: "Those who think that you are helping me make money, you are working so hard to earn so little, but I earn so much for nothing, you don't have to do it." gone."

Zhang Guifang said angrily: "If anyone of you thinks that way, you will lose your conscience. The Feng family raised Yaoyao's money, and Yaoyao not only got it, but also gave you a penny increase. Do you think it is easy to raise a penny? One more, how much is this batch?"

The people below immediately agreed, saying yes, anyone who is not satisfied can leave, don't come, don't delay their work and make money.

Xiuyao looked at her second aunt again, took her out and put it aside for everyone to see, she said: "This is my second aunt, I think you all know it. But what I want to say is, even if it is my mother, my sister To weave gloves, the quality must pass the test. If there are unqualified ones, I will not take them. Therefore, those who say that I am favoritism and say something about me, this is an explanation. Unqualified ones will not be paid. In addition, If there are any unqualified ones, not only will no money be paid, but the loss of cotton and cotton thread will also be compensated, and a pair of unqualified ones will be deducted twelve cents!"

She said coldly, but the baby's fat pink face was not angry but mighty, making people feel that she was not a little girl, but rather a county lord from somewhere.

Hearing what she said, the second aunt suddenly stood up and scolded: "Qin Xiuyao, what do you want to do? I am your second lady, and you have one second aunt for each of you. What second aunt? I am here to do this, and your mother asked me to come here." , You invited me here, why, if you don’t want to give money, there’s no way! I warn you, if you don’t treat yourself as a family, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Xiuyao was not afraid of her at all, she glanced at her, then glanced at Third Aunt, she could understand the gloating and calculation in Third Aunt's eyes, she raised her eyebrows and said: "Did I tell you the rules when I came here? "

Everyone shouted: "Yes, we all know it. The first thing is to keep the secret, and the second is the quality."

The second aunt originally wanted to rush up and slap Shan Xiuyao, but the fire was suppressed, and she stood there with a gloomy face.

Xiuyao said indifferently: "I will fine this money for Second Aunt, and the rest will not be an exception!" She looked at Second Aunt again, and Second Aunt's face turned red and then pale, very ugly,

Seeing the second aunt sitting down, Xiuyao continued: "The grain produced in our fields is cheap when we go to sell rice, but when you go to buy rice, it will be much more expensive? If this is a year of famine, the current Ten stones of rice, I'm afraid it can't be exchanged for one stone. Our gloves are similar, and it will be more expensive if you change someone else. If you have a pair of Wen, you won’t have this business. You want sixty Wen, but no one will give you the list.”

Everyone listened, and Cao Yuelian, Ladder's daughter-in-law, said: "Yaoyao, we understand, whoever is not grateful and talks gossip will be struck by lightning." .But Xiuyao just asked her to work and entrusted her with important tasks. She was very close to her and didn't think she was a new widow at all, so she was naturally grateful.

Xiuyao nodded, "You are all neighbors in the neighborhood, my aunts, aunts, sisters-in-law and sisters. I don't want to say much, so let's continue to work. After finishing this batch, I will rest a year ago."

Originally, Shopkeeper Feng said that he wanted [-], but ended up adding [-], so everyone is still busy now, the more work she does, the happier she is, and everyone also makes money.After saying this, she got up and let them continue to work. She talked to Zhang Guifang for a while and then left.

Zhang Guifang sent her out, said with a low smile: "Yaoyao, you still have a way, so that your second aunt should also calm down, and those who they instigate should calm down."

Xiuyao said: "Auntie, some people are naturally restless, and we are afraid that the world will not be chaotic. We can't prevent it. My second aunt's temper, I guess I can't come here, you remember to talk to her." What Xiuyao meant was Ask her to swear those poisonous oaths again, the more poisonous the better, no matter how you say it, there will be psychological pressure.Zhang Guifang naturally knew, she said: "Don't worry, everyone knows."

Xiuyao left.

Because of the New Year's Eve, Old Qin didn't want to separate the family. He planned to do it after the New Year, but the family didn't have anything to divide, so he always wanted to let the eldest family spit out some money for the second and third families.But the old man is the head of the Liu family, and he has no choice but to force the Liu family to jump into the river, and he can't bear the bad reputation.

Mrs. Zhang was thinking about the money that Second Aunt had stolen, and while Old Qin was out to help others, she sent all the maids out to follow Third Aunt to raise grass, leaving Second Aunt at home alone.

"Mother-in-law, stay here and I have something to tell you."

Second Aunt's heart skipped a beat, so she went to see Third Aunt.

The third aunt hurriedly stuffed the basket into the second aunt's hands, "Mother, let's talk when you get back, don't delay the grass-grabbing."

Zhang's eyes widened: "There is no delay, you all hurry up and don't be lazy. The grass for the New Year has not been burned yet."

As she said that, she picked up the broom on the wall and swept the floor, sweeping out the third aunt and others.

The third aunt looked at the second aunt apologetically, so she had to take all the girls away, not even Xiujuan who was learning needlework at home.

The second aunt felt uneasy, she was still a little jealous of her mother-in-law, so she knew what was going on right away.

"Second sister-in-law, you have been married for so many years, and you have given birth to three children, all of whom are so old. Our mother and I have not spoken a single word in a serious manner." Mrs. Zhang took a small stool and sat at the door, watching The second aunt standing in the house.

The second aunt laughed immediately: "Mother, just say what you have to say, you see such a job, I don't want to be idle."

Because of the loss in her heart, her words were empty, and she couldn't help but say softening. Unlike before, she didn't notice it herself.

On weekdays, she was beaten, beaten and cursed.

Mrs. Zhang snorted, "Second sister-in-law, I have already said that when I was in charge of the house, no one was allowed to hide private money. I heard that you made money and hid it yourself."

The second aunt hurriedly called out her grievances, "That rotten-hearted nonsense, mother, ask her to confront her, is it Zhang Guifang's rotten mouth spreading rumors?"

When Mrs. Zhang saw that she still refused to admit it, she was so angry that she couldn't hold it down at all. She picked up the rolling pin on the cooking table and smacked Second Aunt.

The rolling pin was round and very strong, and it hurt so much when it hit my body, the second aunt wailed, "Mom, what are you doing!"

Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she cursed, "You are a murderer, you have no eyesight, you eat and do nothing, and you mutter and talk badly, so I won't say anything about you. You are ashamed and thrown outside. I will beat you to death before you go." Ask your mother how to teach you."

"What did you say? I didn't do anything!" The second aunt was still stubborn.

Mrs. Zhang sneered, dragged her into the east room, knocked over the box on the kang with a rolling pin, and some small pieces fell out of it.

"Where did this come from?"

The second aunt said stiffly: "My brother gave it to me."

"Your brother, I told you not to tell the truth!" Mrs. Zhang hit again. Although the second aunt was arrogant and often said harsh words, the daughter-in-law was afraid of her mother-in-law. The custom of mother-in-law beating a daughter-in-law made her dare not fight back, so she could only hide In Tibet, I still suffered several blows.

Mrs. Zhang blocked the door and knocked on the edge of the kang angrily, "You stole the money for knitting gloves and gave it to your brother, didn't you? How about your lazy bastard brother buy you something?"

The second aunt felt even more guilty when she saw that she was right, but she refused to admit it. If she confessed, it would be evidence of a crime. Anyway, they didn't see her.

If the money is not at home, no one can do anything.

"Say, who ordered you to do this? Is it from the third family?" Mrs. Zhang concluded that the third aunt had an affair. The two daughters-in-law, Meng Buli and Jiao Jiao Buli Meng, must be related.

The second aunt insisted that nothing happened, and the two of them were knitting gloves well, "Mother, you came to beat me when you heard that he was messing around. You didn't do anything at all, and I just didn't."
